Anyone going to do Nano this year?

I will. It's crazy because I never manage 50K and have enough onging projects already, but I can never resist the addiction. :D

I've done NaNo a few times, but won't be able to this year, unfortunately. Uni gets in my way, but I'll come back to it some other time and one year, I will finish the damn 50k.

Good luck to you! :D

Seeing as I'm only part time at school this year I'm seriously considering it. It will be my first time, If I join I'll let you all know.

I did it last year and am still knee deep in editing/rewriting. But I want to do it this year; I'll have to play it by ear.

It is probably about 30% useless drivel, about 50% close but no cigar, and 100% in need of serious editing and rewriting. There is enough useful content that I think I can actually make something out of it, but I have no illusions about how long and painful a process that is going to be. The main thing I accomplished was to finally produce something longer than an RPG supplement or short story. Besides, I managed to learn some useful skills along the way, so any way I look at it its a win.

Yeah, good luck. I have been working constantly on cleaning up the plotting in last year's NaNovel since January, and I haven't even started the rewrite yet...
